I have done a few weddings and learned and grown from doing them and found aspects I enjoy. It’s a big celebration you plan for years, months, and many hours put into for one day that flies by. That’s why you hire a photographer and a videographer so you can focus on the people and have fun as they capture it for you to look back on later.
After doing a handful of weddings I have decided to offer reception coverage since that’s where all the family and friends have fun and can get great candid moments. Being a fly on the wall and letting the special day unfold. The ceremony is more a personal in my option since it’s the official marriage moment while the reception is the after-party where you can finally mingle with the ones you love. I would love to document your reception of you and your family, friends having a good time and celebrating a new chapter. Going around getting some groups of people together and more candid interactions.
You can always have polaroids and disposable cameras around for your guests to have fun with or have a digital camera to pass around.
